Tension Mounts...

Thats the first week of October gone and still not a sign of any 'good' weather. This has been the worst year I've had for seawatching and the passerines have fared little better. The met office forecast until Monday still has strong westerlies. I still reckon that we will get a spell of bird producing weather before the month is out so here's hoping...

On the patch yesterday and today, next to nothing of note, just the usual wintering waders. Today, a party of 6 Long-tailed Tits moved along the hedge next to Bowmere, only the second Boulmer record. In October on an east coast headland, how desperate is that! And I almost forgot, 14 Redpolls flew around over the wryneck bushes yesterday morning.

I'll try to be more positive over the weekend.
